I had a freak accident in my bathroom Thursday morning, a slip that resulted in me severely poking my right eye with my finger (which is my dominant eye–used for the viewfinder). I started out in the St Helena hospital (north end of Napa Valley), and they eventually found someone to take me in 100 miles away at Stanford University, where a team operated on me in the wee hours of Friday morning. They fixed a rupture in the back of the globe, but there is also damage to the retina and related tissue as well as blood inside my eyeball. It appears that I will have multiple surgeries in upcoming weeks. I currently have no vision in that eye and they have given me little hope that the future surgeries will do anything to bring it back, but they are needed for the health of the globe itself.

Without some sort of miracle, I'll have to re-learn a lot about how to live out my photography passion, not to mention my daily life tasks.
